Introduction

Cloud Bigtable (cbt) is a petabyte-scale, fully managed NoSQL database service for large analytical and operational workloads.
For more information you can read about it here and get started Bigtable docs

Technical detour

Because GCS uses HTTP to connect to Google’s backend, we’ll need to enable metrics and tracing using a custom client
for Bigtable operations. The custom client will have an ochttp enabled transport and then the rest is simple

Enable metric reporting

To enable metric reporting/exporting, we need to enable a metrics exporter, but before that we’ll need
to register and enable the views that match the HTTP metrics to collect. For a complete list of the available views
available please visit https://godoc.org/go.opencensus.io/plugin/ochttp
